My first forage; ID? Tips? (New Jersey)
    #23549822 - 08/17/16 12:26 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I've gotten some mycology knowledge into my belt now and decided it might be worth the effort to search for some actives now, especially since I haven't been feeling well and could use some medicine.

I think it's safe to say some of the NJ actives are in season right now. (panaelus cinctulus, psilocybe ovoidiocystidiata, gyms)

It rained heavily last night so I spent 3 hours today going to the local forest which has a brook running through it; I got there at about 8:30 or 9 latest. I was hoping the brook would be running higher especially since it just rained but it was quite low running.

Some observations I made:

I DID see mushrooms, quite a lot actually, but none of the ones I was looking for it seems.

I realized I probably arrived later than desirable, since many of the mushrooms were swarming with tiny flies. 

I saw one tree in particular with dozens of mushrooms growing on the ground near it. 



I think it's safe to say I've made the correlation that mushrooms grow on/near dead logs/trees with greater frequency. I did however, near the end of my forage, find an out-in-the-open 5" tall, completely white gilled mushroom with no annulus. I tried to take it home for ID but it broke in my pocket. I figured it was poison.

Somewhat to my surprise, I found hardly ANY mushrooms near the brook; maybe there would be more if it was an actual stream/river.

I checked some silver maple trees where I half expected to find Gymnopilus Junoneus, but to no avail... hmm.

The thought crossed me that elevation was an important factor, but I didn't confirm until I went home on wikipedia that some mushrooms prefer lowland.

It occurred to me that I saw more mushrooms near the entrance of the forest than the actual center areas of the forest, but I'm not sure if I can make a sure correlation there.

I saw  two fairy rings next to each other of the same mushroom. A mystery I will have to figure out one day.

I saw an area with numerous dead trees logs; many with dark meaty mushrooms (ID?) And one of the trees had huge but rotting (with flies) fungus (pictured). I took a stick and knocked'm all off the tree after.

I wonder if this medium-small forest is suitable to find actives, or if I have to walk 40 minutes to and from a better park.

As I finally left, I saw at the edge under a bush a HUGE round mushroom, larger than a soccer ball. I cut it in half and it was greenish/orange.



I will definitely try to bring mosquito repellent next time.. my poor ankles.

My total loot:   (I easily ID'd the right as Artomyces pyxidatus, which I nibbled on to confirm its peppery taste, but the mushroom ID I found on google has found 0/5 of the mushrooms I've found so far. For example, it failed to id the chanterelle looking shrooms with yellow gills ( upper left) and the bottom left I found in my backyard under a rose bush which smells like it could be edible. The center-left tiny shroom i found with only the pileus sticking out was super slimy. I read that is a bad sign, but could it really be going bad with hardly more than 1.5cm of stipe grown?

OK, so the ones with flies growing on the tree are oysters but obviously past their prime. The one with grenish inside is a giant puffball but also past. Those 2 are edible when fresh. The giant puffball needs to be all bright white inside.

The picture of the group of mushrooms is a bit too blurry to properly ID some. The ones with the yellow gills don't look like any chantarelle I've ever seen. I wouldn't mind a clearer pic pf that to help ID it though. You have what looks like crown tip coral there too but again it looks a bit past. They should also be nice and white.


--------------------
I'd like to think I'm smart enough to realize how much knowledge I don't have.
